I see you have updated the season thread ... Quagliarella 5 Vidal 5 Giovinco 4 Pirlo 3 Pogba 2 Asamoah 2 Vucinic 2 Caceres 1 Giaccherini 1 Lichsteiner 1 Marchisio 1 Matri 1
So Pirlo to get a rest against Lazio before the Chelsea match. Will Prandelli do the same in the friendly against France?
really guys? 1997? against a certain team which is now mid table quality and gypsy-less exact same score line.
I wholeheartedly believe Matri's last chance came against Nordsjaelland to prove himself. I don't think he'll be getting much chances to start after this, especially since Quags is silently becoming that deadly striker we've all been craving. Reminds me of Elia, Conte gave him one last good chance and he tried, but failed.
definitely happy with the win and don't want to take away anything from this win, but I can not help wondering if Buffon is going down hill. His position on the 2 crosses where one lead to goal and the other was cleared off the line was poor. He does not have the quick reflexes as he used to, which might just be to getting older and not being as nimble. His position and movement was as poor as the PK on wed where he could have had it, but did not. I still love Buffon and will always pick him as my starting goalie, but I am beginning to see more flaws then usual
It's okay, he is getting older. But he's still a world class GK. and remember, we have Leali out on loan in Serie B.
I agree with you, but we definitely need him to be on top of his game if we want to do well in CL as well as Serie A. Chelsea are good on corners and crosses, so that aspect worries me.
8 goals in all competitions, 444 minutes played (1 goal every 55 minutes) If he keeps this up we've found our deadly striker. Pre-injury Quags *crosses fingers*
gigi is such a nice guys....im gonna miss him alot when he's done...hopefully he still got another 5 years and lastly DIDNT I TELL YOU GUYS ABOUT QUAAAAAGLIARELLA LAST YEAR ??? I told you guyd he'd be back....i know quality and i knew he could get his form back, most of u thought he was done!
In a match full of amazing plays, I think Marchisio's clearance was the best. Hard to believe anythings could beat a juggle-to-backheel-flick-assist-to-0verhead-kick-goal, but for me it did.
